S-90054A315 Length 1" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction, extending service life in demanding industrial environments
• Efficient thread forming technology creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without chip removal
• External hex/slotted drive system provides versatile installation options with common tools
• Flanged head design eliminates the need for separate washers while distributing load evenly
• Fully threaded pointed tip ensures maximum grip length and easy starting in pre-drilled holes
• Precision 10 TPI threading delivers optimal thread engagement and holding power in sheet metal applications
• Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards ensures environmental responsibility and workplace safety

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 14 zinc-plated steel tapping screws are engineered specifically for sheet metal applications where reliable fastening is critical. The thread forming design eliminates the risk of metal chips contaminating sensitive equipment while creating stronger threads through material displacement rather than removal. The combination of external hex drive and flanged head provides superior torque transmission and clamping force distribution, preventing material deformation in thin-gauge metals. With 0.242" diameter and 10 TPI precision threading, these screws maintain consistent performance across repetitive assembly operations in HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, and metal fabrication projects where vibration resistance and long-term durability are essential.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These thread forming tapping screws feature a 0.242" thread diameter with 10 threads per inch and 1" length in right-hand thread direction. The hex head measures 3/8" width with 0.24" height and incorporates a 0.52" flange diameter. Designed for use with 5.5mm drill bits (0.2165") in materials up to 0.025" maximum drilling thickness. Manufactured in compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe usage across industrial applications.
